Overview

ARCO Design/Build Mid-Atlantic is a premier, full service design/build general contractor in Columbia, Maryland specializing in the industrial and light manufacturing project types throughout Maryland, Northern VA, and Central, PA. We focus on being a true design/builder – taking an idea, creating a conceptual design, completing the full design package, constructing the project, and finally, “handing over the keys” at completion. ARCO is proud to be #17 on the ENR Top Design/Build Contractors list of 2017.

ARCO has an exciting, long-term career opportunity for a Lead Construction Superintendent. The ideal candidate will have 5-25 years of experience working as a lead Superintendent on ground-up, commercial / light industrial construction projects, 100K sq ft and above. Tilt-up concrete / tilt-wall construction experience is considered a major plus.

The Superintendent is in charge of enforcing all Safety and Quality Control policies and procedures and adhering to and implementing all company policies and regulations.

Participate with the project manager in preparing a schedule of construction activities and their sequence, the organization structure, staff selection, and the manpower and construction equipment requirements of the project.

Direct and control the total construction project to meet specifications and within the allotted time schedule in an efficient manner to produce the expected profit.

The majority of work is completed on job sites in an office trailer or in an existing structure. Due to daily condition changes on construction projects, when employees are outside of the office trailer or structure they must wear appropriate personal protective equipment as required by the company's safety policies and as required for weather conditions.

Qualifications

5-25 years of construction experience, with at least 5 of those years as a lead superintendent on commercial / light industrial construction projects, preferably on jobs that are a minimum of 100k sf. Tilt-up / tilt-wall project experience considered a plus.
